Fashion For Rockers

Written on at , by

The fashion for rockers has always tried to symbolize the chaos and angry. Frustration and anger are the two keywords for the rock style in music, fashion and even in lifestyle. The rhythm of the rock music is fast and heavy as the clothes, shoes and accessories of the rockers. Rock followers are members of a kind of subculture, which uses the sounds and the vision to go beyond the rules of the society, to make it wake up for a real life. Therefore fashion for rockers seems to create a surreal effect…

Though hard rockers usually gravitate around the black colour, this is not the only possibility for rockers’ clothes. It is better to say that the modern rockers fashion is an eclectic combination of ordinary items with new vision. A black leather corset may be worn in a combination with a school uniform. A very short skirt made of a checked fabric over torn tights and knee high black boots is another set of clothing and accessories. Jackets and T-shirts are decorated with pins, prickles, loops and metal chains. The symbol behind all these fashion accents is that the individual is out of control and feels the real life.

The printings over shirts, jackets, trousers and even short dresses are very typical for the rockers fashion. Dragons, evils, and skeletons, are among the most frequently used patterns. Even a short black dress becomes “rocker trendy” if ornate with an eagles crest or dangling chains are put on the straps. Horses, knifes, wings and mystic symbols are typical “male” patterns, which can be found not only on leader jackets, but on T-shirts, sweatshirts and even on the pockets of the trousers.

In fact, fashion fetishism is something very typical for rockers styling. Special haircuts and multiple earrings, together with piercing and tattoos raise the flag of affiliation to the rockers group. Rockers maniacs are tied to accessories, which would surprise the ordinary people. Black power cord looks great when it is wrapped around the arms. Braces are other popular type of accessories, which can have different type of printed symbols on them as well. Even the high technologies influence the rockers’ fashion: trendy accessories are old computer cables, wrapped around the upper part of the body.

However, a lot of people of different age today wear clothes, which belong to the rocker’s style. The popularity of the fashion for rockers is due to the social message of this subculture: the rocker is a free person. If you would like to dress properly, use clothes that look used, torn and “second hand”, even they are pretty new. T-shirt in black with gothic ornamentation, black glasses, and heavy black boots (for motorcycle or military ones) are enough to have a “rocker look”. The pants must be tight, both tapered jeans and leather pants are possible. Women have to combine feminine look dress with masculine boots and accessories. Frequently, clothes are purposely torn and consequently the pieces of fabrics are hold together with pins. That is really cool!

Glam Punk Trends

Written on at , by

As we all know, fashion always changes and there are some styles in fashion that cannot be overlooked. This 2011 trend has some influences from punk subculture, which make the clothes so fun to wear and very original. Let’s see what elements from punk were used by fashion designers at their fashion shows this year.

The new punk is called glam punk and it combines electric colors with great fabrics, ripped shirts and a look that says “I’m original”.

Leather – it seems that leather pants, leather vests, and leather everything is in this year. You can inspire yourself from bikers and buy a leather jacket with straight cuts. If you are against natural leather because of ethical or other reasons, faux leather is your ally. You can even try some leather accessories such as belts, bracelets and even rings or hair accessories. These are a must this year.

Masculine pants – there is a great hysteria about looking more androgynous in 2012. Some women look good when wearing this style, others don’t. If you already have a masculine figure, I advise you not to follow this trend because there are many other trends in 2011 that will enhance your look. For the sweet, innocent looking women androgynous can really be a major change in the way they look. First, if you have feminine figure, you are the best candidate for this look. You can roughen your femininity and turn out to be ravishing and serious. For this look you will need to choose neutral colors but also black and white. Straight, simple cuts and geometrical patterns are another thing that defines this style. With masculine pants, shirts and monochrome pullovers you will definitely achieve this look.

Of course, if you still want to apply this look on yourself, you can choose elements from punk and combine them with other trends. If you know how to combine patters and materials you can create really amazing and original looks. For example, you can choose to combine punk bracelets or ripped T- Shirts with a pair of jeans or a pair of casual pants. This will give you a great urban look especially if you choose colors like kaki, dark grey, brown or dirty pink. There are many things that are borrowed from the punk subculture and we don’t even know about them. For example, slim pants are one item of clothing that was taken from the punk subculture and they definitely are in fashion this year. You can dress however you want, just make sure it suits your figure.

With this thought in mind, let’s see what styles are in fashion this year when it comes to men’s suits.

When it comes to the cut of the suit, something in fashion is the slim cut. Don’t think about the skinny suits that were in fashion a few years back but also don’t go as far as thinking of the boxed, sharp corners suits. This year, slim suits are a great way to go as long as you get the exact kind of slim. It has to inspire masculinity and it usually has a slim waist with broad shoulders.

The office look can be what you are looking for when talking about suits and this look is not only in fashion but it is also quite practical. Of course, there are some elements which you need to consider and you can’t just buy a simple suit. Is has to look good and sharp but not be too squared. Go for a grey color with a white shirt and you will surely pull off the business man look.

If you don’t like the classical look, you can go for something a bit bolder. A suit with a few more details for the man that can wear it with confidence and look good in it. This is meant to show off the masculine body and it has a certain young James Bond look to it. It is not for everyone but it is surely in fashion this year as well as the next one so you may want to think about getting one. Think bold colors such as a light grey that really stands out.

The last but not the least cut in fashion this year is the double breasted suit. It’s been a while until we got to see this style in fashion but it is now here and it is actually improved, without the boxed look we talked about earlier. Now, it is meant to show off the masculine body instead as hide it, as the previous designs. It still keeps the serious and mysterious features and it is a welcomed style for this fashion season.

The Color Fairytale Of The Rave

Written on at , by

The word “rave” has a broad spectrum of meanings. It means music event – a rave party. The word was originally used to describe the wild bohemian parties in Soho, west London. Later, in the early 60s of 20 century it started to be used for any wild party. People, who are sworn “party animals”, were described by the term “raver.”

Rave is also the electronic music of the 80s – mainly Acid house and Techno. The word “rave” was already used to point this entire subculture that grew out of Acid House movement. Rave events were organized mainly in the party atmosphere of the infamous island of Ibiza. Under the pretext of fear of massive use of “party drugs”, the authorities prohibit the rave parties completely.

But for fans rave is more than a subculture: rave is a religion. It has its loyal devotees and holidays in the worship of his god – the music (“God is a DJ”). The underground rave fans invent original ways to find their friends and inform about upcoming events. In England, the location is reported on a secret radio, which dates back to the dawn of this culture. And in the U.S. today, there is the practice to distribute puzzles whose solution will lead you to the party!

Rave has always had its own fashion. From the very beginning ravers liked bright colors, painted clothes and smiling faces to be part of their club fashion. At the beginning of the 1990s working overalls, white gloves, whistles, light sticks and teats were quickly adapted as classic rave clothing and accessories. Some of them were practical, other increase the effect of drugs, third glow under UV light and the laser beams. The pouches in the waist were quickly abandoned, together with the nipples. Although some still wear whistles, they are generally avoided because they prevent the 100 percent perception of the music. Workers’ overalls and white gloves are still in use, but already in combination with the complex Cyber club fashion – hairy leggings and gloves.

Freedom to express yourself through clothes you wear to the club is one of the main pillars in the music world. Original design and vibrant colors have evolved over the years to reach the leading fashion over a short period. Leggings, worn by ladies during the party-years, now are converted into small, emerging body additions, like sexy hot pants (or short shorts), mini-dresses with pleats at the bottom (rara dress), following the figure tops, etc. Sparkling with neon colored clothing and shirts with smiling faces from the early Acid House grew into reflective jackets, work jackets, white gloves and accessories. The reflective tape became a very important element, which is sewn on the edges of pants, blouses and even remains a loose band of the pockets.

 

The key to rave fashion is really being yourself to an extreme degree. Rave culture is a culture of positive expression and thought. You are a visual reflection of what you think, speak, your favorite hobbies. It is something like a form of unselfish self-promotion. The raver does not think about clothes as clothing, but as a uniform that represents a great person.

The Purple As The New Black

Written on at , by

Purple in all its shades stays on the top of fashion colours season after season. It is so elegant and noble, from light lavender to deep eggplant that some designers speak about it as “the new black”. One of the reasons for this is actually the main advantage of purple: it goes well with almost all other colours!

Like all colors, purple and its shades have positive and negative sides. Depending on the shade and the quantity of purple items (being they clothing or accessories) on you, you can be ultra modern, or very tasteless. It is important to know that you can combine several items in purple nuances, but do not overdo it. The dark shades of purple have a drama effect, but the lighter nuances are very romantic. Nowadays many brides are looking for these romantic aspects of the purple. It is believed that purple color is very suitable for blondes or ladies with red hairs, but you should know that all shades of purple highlight the shortcomings of the skin. You must be sure in the excellent condition of your skin before you put on a strapless dress in that color.

Purple is a fashion hit not only in clothing, but in everything else that can be worn: accessories, handbags, makeup, boots, even tights. The make up trends also follow the fashion: smoked violet or grey violet shades are very actual. However, you must be very cautious with purple: if over-the quantities, you might look like beaten.

Purple go very well with all bold colours that dominate in the fashion market. It is already a big cliché, but the world crisis stays behind the bold colours. Designers are looking for attracting their customers, by using bright colours. The shades of black and white are typically on fashion during periods of prosperity. So, to welcome the brightness and to see which are the more interesting colours, that can be combined with purple:

Black. On one hand it is an expression of pessimism in the fashion world, on the other hand – it is very practical colour. Classic black is always fashionable. And this season appears in absolutely all collections. Black is not only a sign of elegance, but visually makes the figure slenderer, as all know.

Grey. From about two seasons grey is one of the hottest colors. Various shades of grey are topical: from dark grey to lighter tones.

White. Many designers showed clothes with a combination of shades of purple and white, which are suitable for ladies of any age and any occasion.

Brown. It is neutral and can be easily combined with other colours. Light purple and brown is very gentle combination, warm and pleasant by feel. If you think however, that brown is not your color, you can use it as an accent: a brown belt over a purple knitted dress.

Blue. Blue and purple stay on opposite sides of the color scheme and they perfectly go together. Almost all clothing and accessories using this combination in all possible nuances look stylish and elegant. Dark tones of blue and purple emphasize femininity, whilst lighter shades create a gentle and romantic vision.
